Someone's cool factor is way off if you think those were good examples of "awesome" pokémon.

Any pokemon who knows both Harden and has the old animation for a move called String Shot is going to be awesome.

I think one of the biggest problems with the current gen pokemon is simply the naming and art design.
The original pokemon had very strong character design and didn't just look like random anime monsters that are thrown out by basically everyone who thinks Japan is cool.

'Metapod uses Harden!'
'Metapod uses String Shot!'

Yeah, Metapod was a pretty awesome pokemon.

Alakazam > any of these new pokemanz

anyways, making more pokemon games is like beating a dead horse. they should prob just redo red/blue/yellow for nostalgia freaks and move onto something else. it's getting pretty tired.

Exactly. It's been progressively downhill since RBY 'cause they just didn't care as much with design.

Anyway, Starmie was always my favorite.. it was a beast of a leading Pokemon. Exploding Exeggutor for close second.

Well, they did come out with fire red and leaf green. Not much else they can do to the original series tbh.

i sorta meant, just fix the graphics, but don't deviate from the actual content, just make an exact replica minus shitty graphics. i loved those games when i was a kid

Neo Atomisk · Feb 19, 2010, 03:39 AM // 03:39

well I just can't wait for the 5th gen to come out, the current 4th gen meta was getting kinda stale... I just wonder if something will come out that can sp wall better than blissey.
any competitive/smogon players here?

I hope they can do something new with the series with the DS2. No mystery dungeon spin offs though. Something along the lines of a D/P/P and pokemon stadium combo.

Mystery dungeon was such a hilarious failure.

RBY were the best of course.

Then Gold and Sivler provided many great additions to the game and that was probably my favorite.

I could live with ruby and saphire but by a 4th generation with no revolutionary changes and the same cookiecutter Grass/poison, etc pokemon, it was getting old.

But Remakes of Gold and Silver (Soulsilver and Heartgold) are coming out next month. That will probably be "cool"

Kerwyn Nasilan · Feb 22, 2010, 12:32 AM // 00:32

RBY Had alot of good ones, GS had the best overall line up imo RS had some winners and the newer ones have hardly any real winners (garchomp is a badass) but I am going with some friends to pick up the G/S when they come out, major nostalgia factor there.

BadgerzFTW · Feb 27, 2010, 12:51 AM // 00:51

Yeah, I'm meh about a new gen. Too concentrated on getting HG

Someone doesn't know what they're talking about.

It's taken me nearly a decade to notice the awesome innuendo there.
I reckon the games were the best when G/S/C was released.
